Hey guys! Really excited with this one, as I will be building a lot of circuits in the next days (overdrives, mostly) to try out and pick the one (or two) I like the most. It also features an integrated breadboard for prototyping little circuits! ;D
It was an easy build and the results are great (at least, for me ;) ). I used a 125BB-sized box, which I designed and had the local "Metal Man" (I don't know how to say this in English! :P ) to build them for me. He also built a couple of 1790D-sized boxes. It's really cheap per box this way, so I think I'll have him make some 125B ones (or maybe 1590A, if he can make it this small!)
By the way, you'll see the "Effects Den" sign. I say it's the name for my pedal "company", even if I don't have one or ever have. ::) It's not trademarked, so I hope someone won't steal it. :) As for where does the name comes from, the Assasins' Creed players will know. It comes from the Assasins' Dens, the Assasins' headquarters in each neighbourhood. Yeah, I love this game! ;D
Also, the little "flower" (let's say..) is something I draw when I was 10 or 11 years old. I saw it recently in an old notebook and really liked it. So, I scanned it, threw it in Inkscape and make a digital version of it, which I can now edit. I think this flower is gonna be in every one of my next builds. I have a somewhat emotional connection with it. And it looks cool too!
For you wondering why I left so much empty space, I'm going to build a tone generator to test the circuits without having to use a guitar. It adds to the whole cable mess!
I hope you like it, as much as I do.

Wow Hector, that's a pretty looking testing rig.
clean simple and looking great :) great job :)

yeah, probably the nicest looking one around. That flower is awesome!

Thanks! Hearing that from you, the man who - in my opinion - makes the best pedals around the DIY scene.. ;)

Glad you like it! Yes, I think the flower is awesome too. I'm really impressed how this drawing came down, as I was never a good painter. ::)
Thanks!

That is is great testing rig, and you'll probably need the room inside for an utility board or two. I tried to fit a Wicked Switch on vero inside my own testing rig made with a 1590B, it took almost all the available space ;D
Practical, well laid out--and it looks great. I have a feeling you keep a tidy work space, just by looking at that. ;D

Thanks! It's indeed really practical and I took my time to think how I should make the layout.
But you got wrong the second one. It's really a mess right now after building this, but I intend to clear it up for the upcoming builds! ;)
